Student Success Story - Mirjam Gielen

Mirjam Gielen, a textile artist and teacher based in the Netherlands, had been making her three-dimensional work by trial and error, sensing "there was something there, but I couldn't put a finger on it", until Tina Marais' Soft Revolution helped her find what was missing. In this video, Mirjam shares how the course changed the way she works with textiles, through wrapping threads around objects with no fixed outcome in mind, fabric-wrapped buttons turned into sculptural forms, and a cracked, two-century-old pottery shard cradled in a soft stitched pillow, building a triangle between herself, her materials and her inspiration, and teaching her to stop imposing a plan on her work and start listening to it instead. 👉 Learn more about Soft Revolution with Tina Marais: https://taketwoart.com/courses/tinama...
